US 75 Construction Update
The City of Anna continues to work with TxDOT to address traffic concerns related to the ongoing construction on US 75. In our most recent meeting, TxDOT agreed to schedule any necessary lane closures between 8 or 9 p.m. and 5 a.m. to minimize daytime disruptions, adjust the traffic alignment to keep lanes open during daytime work, and add additional signage with Q-detection software to alert drivers of congestion. We will continue advocating for solutions that prioritize the safety and convenience of our residents.

On this episode of Texas Yard Makeover by the North Texas Municipal Water District, they show you how to check your system for leaks and broken sprinkler heads. Plus, they'll cover setting your controller to water twice a week or less this summer. Let’s get started.
